If this comic seems a little "out of character" for MiSTEam, that's because it is. I entered a contest the Penny Arcade was sponsoring for their Child's Play charity, and the requirement was that every submission had to include a reference to one of the hospitals they support, a cat, and meat. It also had to fit in the three panel format template they gave us.

Also, since Penny Arcade tends to be a lot about violence, shenanigans, and the like, I decided to make my comic submissions a bit "edgier".

Lastly, I think this is the first time in the history of MiSTEam that we've seen Michael with his eyes open. Pretty weird looking, eh?
